  • Vast inequality in a society built upon a white supremacist/patriarchal power structure.

  • God I picked a shit time to tune in. They should have gone with the sax.

  • Absolutely rage bait. Imo the language might read as non combative, but in application it feels like just a blind to slip a ban. Read through some of their exchanges with Mx. SMCF; it's pointing a hand in somebody's face and using the 'I'm not touching you' of defenses.

  • Hm. Does this line of argument want me to be displeased with AOC? Or to wave off the disporportional hardship and ruin metered out by Hyde? It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world and I'm gonna haveta to admire AOC and still remember the faces of those would advocate roadblocks to basic rights in the off chance our paths cross in hell. 🤷‍♂️

  • It gets tacked on to that which must pass, yes, but I was under the impression years ago he was a more stalwart supporter of it-which to his credit, he's done a complete 180 on in recent years.

  • Not recently, but he used to support the hyde amendment. Which prevented federal funds from being spent* on abortion care-low income assistance programs, etc.

    (Christ alive I'm illiterate before coffee)*

  • My guy. I live in a deep red area and am very lucky that it is kept in check by the blue state government. I have no idea how the poor fuckers stuck in the bible belt survive it.

    Both sides ain't the same. Its fucked to begin to suggest so.

  • Nah. I wait to see if it's a post from GPS or Monk first.

  • Because I dont know what the hell any of those words mean, I think it's been a good life.

  • Yeah. Many of us have an alarm set to take a fucking pill every fucking day and at the same fucking time for decades, but sure, yea, it's not 'normal' to think or care about reproductive rights. This fucker. *

  • Wait. There are places where your primary party is not public knowledge when you vote? Fuuuck. (it's usually a fire hall, not a lodge in my experience.)

  • Older women in my family—with the best of intentions, have pleaded with me to overlook abusive, violent men at home because men just can't help the way they are and it's a woman's job to forget and make peace.

    These are people that fundamentally don't think they have a right to baseline respect in their own homes by the people who supposedly loved them most. They'd need a decade's worth of therapy just to find their best interests, and then another to act on them.

  • Ugh. What will it take for Hillary to stop fucking up elections?

  • No. The first post was regretful that these books would get a boom in interest from their prohibition albeit of the low quality of their content—granted said like an ass, but, welcome to the internet.

    You keep conflating low quality with shame. In a way that's increasingly reading as bit autobiographic. Like whatever you like—liking a thing doesn't excuse it from criticism. Yeah, I'd prefer the zeitgeist steer kids into reading better crafted works and not to mass marketed soulless trash. Is this really a problematic stance? Calling me a pretentious twat and an elitist because I am critical of a book series that ...you apparently never read? (I got up until the point when sheltered girl is abducted from abusive English garden boy by dark and brooding but misunderstood wing guy.) Tons of fantastical young adult books are written fantastically. But so far not by Maas.

  • Repeatedly said the exact opposite my guy. But as an artist, bad artists that phone it in=not as worthy? Yeah. I like this hill. It is verdant and good. Making good shit is hard. It would nice to live in a world where that effort was valued. You seem very earnest. I wish you the best with your Twilight vanilla fairy melodramas.

  • But I shat on the Court of Whatever series because it is not well written, and then you implied I should be ashamed for shaming people because all reading was great and equal, and then I gave an example how I didn't believe that necessarily to be true. The whole point is they could be discovering a better book if Terry Pratchett would have put more smutty bits in Tiffany Aching.

  • cool cool cool. When does she keelhaul him?

  • Maas is over-saturated and sucking the oxygen out of the room for people writing better things in the same genre. l will* die on that molehill. Any day of the week. Twice on Saturdays.

    And as a side note, I like trashy novels? But its disingenuous to throw Court of Mist and Fury up against Anna Karenina and say these are equal works. Like whatever you like—it's fun to read self indulgent stuff, but also remember it is good to challenge yourself a bit from time to time.
